>We can’t afford universal education and healthcare

Countries can exist without universal education and health care.

They cannot exist without national defense (whether provided on their own or through an ally). Sorry, that is simply a fact.

Also, national defense is a clearly enumerated function of the federal government per the Constitution. Neither of the other two is.

I never said no military. I said a reduction in spending. We overspend and egregiously waste on ours. That’s my point. Good chat.
